HING AND MAINTAIN
- The appliance is designed to create a delicious Belgium-style waffle without holes, empty spaces or messy overflow. The waffle plates channel the batter down on a 45% angle to produce a complete waffle with a crisp finish and a tender center.The batter expands during the cooking process and the overflow is contained in the pour spout.
- Use the recipes or, if using a boxed waffle mix, follow the instructions and then thin the waffle mix with water (2 tbsp. to 2/3 cup depending on batch size) for a smooth pourable batter. Use the measuring cup (10) to pour batter into the pourspout when the green ready indicator is illuminated.
- Pour batter slowly and steadily holding the measuring cup 3 – 5 inches above the pour spout. This helps to prevent clogging of the pour spout. Cook for 4 minutes with the control knob on MAX level. Disengage the latch, open the lid and remove the waffle to serve. We recommend using tongs or a fork specially designed for Belgian Waffles.
- Most waffle batter can be poured directly onto the non-stick waffle plates (8). Use a cooking spray for dessert waffles or any recipe with a lot of sugar. If your waffles start to stick, the waffle plates (8) may need to be scrubbed with a nylon brush to remove any cooked-on food particles.
- Most waffles can be made ahead of time and kept warm in a 200°F (90°C) oven.
- To store waffles, let them cool, and then pack into an airtight container. Store in a refrigerator or freezer. Waffles can be reheated in a microwave oven or regular oven.
- Most waffles are done in about 3 – 6 minutes. Recipes made from scratch may take longer. Check if waffles are done after 3 – 6 minutes or once no more steam is being emitted. If the appliance does not open easily, allow waffles to cook for another minute before checking again.
- It is recommended to clean all accessories after each use.
